Before the existence of the Great War, America had fought in previous wars. In the years before the Great War nursing was not even a word for the women who had helped with the aid of fallen soldiers. Florence Nightingale, who helped in establishing nursing as a career used her efforts in organizing an emergency nursing service (Dahlman 2). Nightingale started off at first with forty women, some of whom were Sisters of Religious Nursing Orders and others hospital-taught women of the old school, not trained in the modern way, but experienced (Dahlman 3). Florence Nightingale founded the Nightingale Training School for Nurses at St. Thomas’ Hospital which was the parent of the modern system of nursing.

In “Letters of a Civil War Nurse”, written in 1863, Cornelia Hancock’s account of the Civil War gives readers an account of the suffering and hardship of soldiers through the point of view of an Union nurse.

Through a series of letters written to her loved ones, Cornelia wrote what nurses went through during the times of war.

Early caregivers and healthcare facility were often formed because of people’s religious beliefs. Monks and nuns served God by caring for ill people that were unable to care for themselves (Chamberlain College of Nursing, 2015). People of faith believed that it was their duty to take on the role of caregivers. While nuns were not really considered nurses they were caregivers that practiced structured and sanitary care that focused on the person.
